Haha! Videos on humorous approaches to environmentalism and global warming!

Man, I really need to figure out how to post videos on here!
I keep looking for ways other people have already approached children about environmentalism, but all I can find are articles about children and the best learning "environment" ... I need to reword how I'm searching I think... the search continues.
Aha! I'm getting warmer!
From an article at:
http://www.wisegeek.com/how-do-i-teach-a-child-the-importance-of-nature.htm
"Children aren't born understanding the importance of nature, but learn by modeling the behavior of those who are important to them. If they learn from observation that nature is disposable, that is how they will treat it. Children can learn the importance of nature by teaching them a few simple things." >>> The point/idea I'm getting at for Design Problem #2.
"Recycling is a great way to teach your children the importance of nature. It also makes them feel like they are contributing to environmental conservation. This makes it more likely they will continue the behavior later in life. Allow your children to collect all the cans and bottles in the house and trade them in for cash. It is a great motivating factor for children." >>> Good - yes. Boring- yes. I want something that will really stick. Something that's fun to them, that they will remember, and want to repeat.
